    1 onion, roughly chopped
    1 stalk celery, sliced
    1 teaspoon garlic, crushed
    1 teaspoon chili, chopped
    1 teaspoon lemon pepper
    1 tablespoon dried basil
    1/2 carrot, grated
    1 kg frozen spinach
    440 g chopped tomatoes (reserve half the juice for later)
    Salmon Sauce
    30 g butter
    1 onion
    1 stalk celery
    1/2 teaspoon garlic, crushed
    1 teaspoon lemon pepper
    2 tablespoons flour
    1/2 cup white wine
    1 cup milk
    225 -450 g canned salmon (depending on taste)
    1/2 carrot, grated
Preparation
    Preheat Oven to 220 deg cel. Prepare / oil Lasagne dish & set aside.
    Tomato Sauce:
    Gently saute onion, celery, garlic & chili until soft but do not brown.
    Add lemon pepper, basil, carrot, spinach & tomatoes (don't forget to reserve some of the juice).
    Cover & simmer while preparing salmon sauce.
    Salmon Sauce:
    Melt butter in saucepan.
    Gently saute onion, celery & garlic until soft but do not brown.
    Add lemon pepper & flour & cook stirring for 1 minute.
    Stir in wine, mixing to a paste.
    Gradually add milk, stirring constantly until sauce begins to thicken.
    Add in salmon & grated carrot. Season to taste.
    Gently simmer for approximately 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid browning on the base.
    Remove lid from tomato sauce & let excess moisture reduce while salmon sauce finishes thickening. If there looks to be too much liquid in the tomato sauce mix up some cornflour in water & stir into tomato mixture to thicken.
    When both sauces are ready line base of lasagne pan with 1/4 of the lasagne sheets.
    Pour 1/3 of the spinach mixture onto the lasagne sheet.
    Pour 1/3 of the salmon mixture over the spinach, spreading with a spoon.
    Sprinkle a little grated cheese over the salmon (this step may be omitted if you are wanting to cut back on a few calories).
    Continue layering in the previous order, finishing with the last 1/4 of the lasagne sheets.
    Spoon/brush all of the reserved tomato juice over the top of the lasagne sheet & sprinkle with remaining cheese.
    Sprinkle with Lemon Pepper.
    Bake for approximately 30-45mins.
    Note: I used fresh spinach lasagne sheets & baked for 40mins. You will need to adjust cooking temperature & time depending on the type of lasagne/pasta you use.
    Note: I boiled our potatoes while making the sauces. I smashed, coated & then baked them in a pan beside the lasagne.
